It’s fortified with antioxidants, omega fatty acids and probiotics to make sure her immune system, skin and coat, and gastrointestinal systems stay healthy and strong throughout her long life.

Key Benefits

Real deboned chicken is the very first ingredient in this protein-rich, nutrient-dense recipe; contains no meat by-products or fillers.

This food is formulated for adult, non-reproducing cats over one year old as kittens and pregnant or nursing mothers have special nutritional requirements. It is important to slowly transition your cat from his/her current diet as it takes a few days for the body to adapt to new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5 - 7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness® CORE® by day 7.

CORE is highly palatable so your cat may tend to eat more of this food. Watch initially to see if you need to adjust regular eating patterns. Give your cat access to clean, cool fresh water at all times and feed Wellness® CORE® wet food in combination whenever possible, to increase the level of water in your cat's diet. Nutrition is the foundation of wellbeing, but be sure to give your cat plenty of love, exercise and see your veterinarian regularly!

Cats are Not A Fan

I bought this to try to give to my epileptic kitty. He needs a grain free, high protein diet. My cats eat it reluctantly and I just realized I can't give it to my epileptic baby cause it has Rosemary Extract. A pass for us.

Great protein and low carbs

By KarensFarm

I had to switch to a high protein, low carb diet in my multi-cat household.
PROs-
The cats like this brand and did not snub their noses to it.
The ingredients are wholesome and more along the lines of what they would eat in the wild.
Very healthy food.
CONs-
STICKER SHOCK!
Wow, is it expensive!
I was shocked at how small the bag was once it arrived.
I guess that is the price we pay for healthy food.
Other than having to take on a 2nd job to cover the cost of this new food, I am very happy with the product.

Good food but my cats aren't impressed

By Tuffy

I purchased this food based on the ingredients. I have 4 cats, one does not care for fish and another is allergic to eggs - this eliminates 90% of the dry cat food on the market that I am able to feed. Wellness CORE has a decent kibble shape/size, kind of like a cylindrical pea.
Because of the good I'm giving it 4 stars, but I will not buy it again as my cats seem to not care for either the taste or the kibble shape - the same half cup of food has been sitting in the dish for 2 days now.

Healthy Choice for Kitty Kids

Switched both of my kids to this food a year ago as the 10 year old was overweight and I wanted the 3 year old on a healthy regimen. After trial and error with other recommended brands, they love this food. Feed the recommended amount for each of them twice a day. My big boy now has a healthy weight and the little girl is very healthy. Very few hairballs and both have soft, healthy fur. Great product. Worth the price to keep my babies healthy.

Finicky Cats

By Isadora

I changed from the Wellness Indoor Weight Control as wouldn't eat it. They liked The Wellness Core Grain Free for about three days and now could care less. Have no clue what other options are. I know it is a great food, I just think my cats no longer care for dry food and a can a day of Wellness wet food is beyond my budget. We tried and I appreciate all your help.

Nutritious and feline-approved

By Mjane

I switched my two 1-year old cats to this from Science Diet a few months ago, and they love it.
It took them about a week to fully adjust to the new food though.
They both seem more energetic now. And my bigger cat even slimmed down enough that he can now jump onto the kitchen counters when he couldn't before.
I feel even better buying them this food because it's made in the USA and is grain-free.

Was hoping

I really wanted to like this. The pieces are small and it doesn't smell too bad. The ingredients read well, and for my convenience, the bag has a zip-type seal to help keep it fresh. However, none of my three cats would even give this food a second glance. They walk way from the bowl, throwing offended glances in my direction.
